Abstract:
Ambient monitoring measures the status of air quality throughout the state to assess trends, compliance with federal and state air quality standards, effectiveness of control strategies and attainment plans, health effects and environmental damage; respond to citizen complaints; evaluate specific geographic or hot-spot air quality concerns; and create environmental indicators. Emission inventory is the cataloging of sources of air pollution and the emissions from those sources. Inventory data are critical to the understanding of the causes of air pollution problems and creation of appropriate solutions. Meteorological forecasting and dispersion modeling of air pollutants are essential to understanding the movement and buildup of air pollution; the carrying capacity of airsheds; the interaction of pollutants; and the location of maximum impact of sources of pollution. As of September 26, 2005 there are no longer any areas of Washington designated as "NONATTAINMENT."
Purpose:
Show areas that presently and historically did not meet ozone air quality standards.
Supplemental_Information:
Air quality concerns come in three forms: public health, environment and quality of life. Thirteen areas of Washington state were designated as violating national, health-based, ambient air quality standards for six chemicals known as criteria pollutants. Over 2.3 million people live within these areas. Additionally, special monitoring studies show the potential for violations in several new areas such as Wenatchee, Ellensburg and parts of the Columbia plateau. Although air quality has improved significantly in the state's major urban areas, most remain close to violating one or more federal air quality standards. Population growth, more cars, and economic expansion will continue to push vehicle use and emissions higher. It will take vigilance and the combined effort of citizens, business and government to sustain our air quality gains. Hundreds of other chemicals, known as toxic or hazardous air pollutants, enter the atmosphere from a wide variety of sources but are not subject to ambient, health-based standards. Because of limited air quality data, the level of public health and environmental damage caused by toxic air pollutants is largely unknown. Air pollution causes lung disease and worsens existing respiratory and cardiopulmonary disease, sometimes hastening death for persons afflicted with such diseases. Hundreds of studies find that short and long-term exposures to air pollution increase respiratory symptoms, emergency room visits, hospitalizations and medication use; decrease lung function; and create school absences, work loss days, and restricted activity days. Air pollution increases chronic respiratory illness; increases the overall death rate; increases the likelihood of contracting cancer; and decreases lung function in children, pre-disposing them to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as adults. Air pollution affects the environment and quality of life in many ways including: damage to soils, water, crops, vegetation, manmade materials, property, animals, and wildlife; impairment of visibility, climate and weather; and hazards to transportation, as well as adversely affecting economic values and personal comfort and well-being.
